Abstract excerpt
Myostatin (MSTN) is a negative regulator of muscle growth and development. In the present study characterization of MSTN 5' upstream region and investigation of 5'UTR TTTTA deletion was carried out in seven different Indian goat breeds. An 1181 bp fragment of 5' upstream region of MSTN gene was PCR amplified, cloned, and sequenced. Nucleotide sequences of MSTN 5' upstream region exhibited a high degree (>99%)...
